Most yidden who work in secular/professional firms have no difficulty navigating the daily encounters with non-Jewish colleagues in a friendly and respectful way including a nod to have a happy holiday or New Years or whatever. We are not engaging in avodah zorah or acknowledging the legitimacy of others’ beliefs. Just being civil in the same way my colleagues always offer their best wishes to their Jewish colleagues around Rosh Hashanah etc.
